Temporal change of community-weighted means (CWMs) of vegetative traits. Notations: rectangle – sites at the eastern part of the reserve; circle – sites in the western part of the reserve; blue – sites laying near to the dune top; red – sites laying near to the dune slack. Significant differences were indicated by superscript letters (Univariate GLM and Tukey test). Clonal spreading ability was based on the four ordinal categories of the CLO-PLA database29; while life form was based on qualitative data for plant life form transformed to an ordinal scale based on the potential life span of each category.
